According to Ohio State Records:
"What is an Arrest Warrant in Ohio?
An arrest warrant authorizes the bearer to arrest and/or detain the person named on the warrant. In Ohio, a court may issue an arrest warrant if there is reason to believe that the defendant has committed a crime. Judges, magistrates, court clerks, or designated court officers may issue arrest warrants in Ohio. For an Ohio arrest warrant to be valid, it must contain:
The defendant’s name. If the defendant’s name is unknown, the warrant must contain a description by which the defendant may be reasonably identified.
A description of the offense for which the court issued the warrant
The applicable state statute
Whether the court issued the warrant before or after a scheduled hearing
Bail amount where applicable
Where applicable, a specification that the defendant is not eligible for bail.
Designated officers may execute arrest warrants anywhere in the state. Additionally, law enforcement agents may arrest persons named on a warrant without having a physical copy of the warrant. In this case, the arresting officer must inform the defendant of the existence of the warrant and the offense that the defendant is charged with. However, the arresting officer must provide the defendant a copy of the warrant as soon as possible."
Literally all this shows is that a person can claim someone threatened them (or whatever the offense is) and provided the name. If this was done at a club you would assume there's video evidence that will surface.
